Story
This crock pot dish has a lot of flavor and is so easy to make. It's actually a good dish for beginning cooks to try because it's almost impossible to mess up and a new cook can feel kind of fancy by mixing in the cornstarch and water thickener. That little extra step is sometimes all it takes to turn what looks like a lazy meal into an inspired dinner. Cooking for someone special for the first time? Think about it. Enjoy!
Note: Don't forget to cook the rice in time for dinner!
